About This Item
London: Raphael Tuck and Sons, Ltd. [c.1920]. Early edition with these illustrations. Early edition with these illustrations. Publisher's original blue cloth boards with titles in gilt to the upper board, illustration and titles in gilt to the spine. Top edge gilt. Illustrated with 12 full page colour plates and line drawings throughout the text by Mabel Lucie Attwell. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little wear to the spine tips and corners. The cloth with just a few light marks is otherwise bright and fresh. The contents, with an ink inscription to the blank front endpaper and mild foxing to the prelims and text block edge, are otherwise clean and bright. All of the colour plates are present as called for and in fine condition. Publisher's catalogue to the rear. An attractive example of this beautifully illustrated Alice in an uncommon cloth binding. Commonly seen in paper covered pictorial boards and cloth spine, there was also a deluxe issue in dark blue heavy beveled cloth boards illustrated and with titles in gilt to the upper board. This example appears to be an in-between state, the boards not beveled and without the illustration to the upper board, but here present on the spine. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
